Wearable Technology in Healthcare

The advent of the wearable technology in the healthcare sector is seen as another inevitable phenomenon arising from the digitalization of the healthcare market. Wearable technology in healthcare has evolved from being just fitness and wellness devices to an efficient mechanism, which can directly influence medical conditions, improve diagnosis, and the ultimate healthcare. Wearable devices have now become an integral part of the healthcare infrastructure and are now assisting pharmaceutical companies in expanding their clinical trials, engaging with healthcare insurance companies to incentivize a healthier living, and empowering patients by giving them access to their own medical data.
